This study was performed to investigate the influence of
the magic angle effect on multi-component T2 parameters
measured using mcDESPOT. Ex-vivo articular cartilage
specimens were imaged using mcDESPOT at angles of 0,
30, 55, and 60 relative to the main magnetic field.
Percent changes in T2 parameters from 0 to 55 where
there was maximum magic angle effect was 42.9% for
single-component T2, 20.0% for T2 of bulk water loosely
bound to the macromolecular matrix, 40.0% for the T2 of
water tightly bound to proteoglycan, and -4.9% for the
fraction of water tightly bound to proteoglycan.
